Issue with upgrading aircraft
So just started up BBA, and as Germany. I wanted to make a Tac Bomber with ship strike capabilities.
So I’ve edited the template for the He 111 to have main armament as medium bomb bay, and have added torpedos as secondary.
Added it to the equipment production, removed all other medium airframes from production, and marked all others as outdated.
I’ve then set up air wings of tactical bombers, leaving 20 as surplus.

Now my issue is, these new medium airframes are being built, but are just going into surplus. None of the aircraft in the wings are being replaced by the non-outdated equipment. All aircraft have the same tag, so I’m really unsure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve always found that outdated equipment is replaced if possible.

Guessing no one has found a work around for this?
Theya re not intechangable.

From my observation and experience for being eligible for replacement:

- the weapon that define airplane in first slot has to match 100%, not only the type but exactly thew weapon (eg. CAS bomb must have CAS bomb, not CAS anti tank cannon). Some people say other slots too but I had no issue to eg. add new anti tank cannon to previous CAS with bomb only and it was eligible (maybe further replace the cannon again with bomb could break it again... not sure dont ahve all scenarios covered and we all learn the new system..)
- The air frame and aicraft classification must be same
- The available misions has to be exactly same too, if you add new weaponry that change available missions it is considered as new type
- equipment tag

Have you tried it with the improvement Buttons (old, mixed, complete new, no Chances) for Planes?

Everything else I haven´t in Mind yet to solve the Change / Refit of Bombers etc.
